During my Korean language lesson today, once again, my teacher, 현영, proved to be the best Korean language teacher that I have ever had. She had prepared talking points for our lesson today and she explained the concepts very well. And, if I did not quite grasp the concepts, she explained them in different ways until I fully understood. And, the way that she listens to me when I have a question is something that I really like. She is very patient with me as I try to form sentences in Korean and corrects my mistakes in very constructive ways. I would recommend 현영 to anyone interested in learning the Korean language whether they are complete beginners or they have been studying the language for a while. I know that they would not be disappointed in her as their teacher.

We had a good talk about the Korean novel "My Father's Liberation" today. In between we also talked about my previous experience with organizing overseas study trips for my students. Good practice of spoken Korean and I am looking forward to the detailed set of transcript/notes that sseam provides every time after class!!

I am very pleased with my first lesson. 현영 is a very knowledgeable teacher, and I really enjoyed learning with her.

Today we had a bit of detour chatting about films, especially the works by director 홍상수. Then we continued with the discussion about Korean politics. Great time as always!! Glad to have met Hyeongyong sseam.

Once again, 현영, my Korean language teacher proved to be an excellent teacher of the Korean language. Today I had my third lesson with 현영, and as with the two previous lessons, she was a fantastic teacher. As the lesson progressed, she wrote what we were talking about and explained in her notes what the meaning of the Korean words were and explained the subtle nuances of the different words. And, when I didn't understand a concept, she explained the concept in different ways until I understood. She also allowed me to ask questions and answered my questions in ways that I completely understood. IMHO, she is an excellent teacher of the Korean language and the best Korean language teacher that I have ever had.

Today we continued to discuss Korean politics based on a symposium minutes that we didn't finish last time. We also chatted about sseam's recent trip and shared our experience about travelling. It's also such a pleasure to talk with Hyeonyoung sseam. Kamsahamnida!!
